A Semantic Layer for Data with Artyom Keydunov

Managing data and access to data is one of the biggest challenges that a company can face. It’s common for data to be siloed into independent sources that are difficult to access in a unified and integrated way.

One approach to solving this problem is to build a layer on top of the heterogenous data sources. This layer can serve as an interface for the data and provide governance and access control.

Cube is a semantic layer between the data source and data applications. Artyom Keydunov is the founder of Cube and he joins the show to talk about the approach Cube is taking.

Is your code getting dragged down by joins and long query times? The problem might be your database. Try simplifying the complex with graphs. A graph database lets you model data the way it looks in the real world instead of forcing it into rows and columns.

Stop asking relational databases to do more than they were made for. Graphs work well for use cases with lots of data connections like supply chain, fraud detection, real real -time analytics, and Gen AI. With Neo4j, you can code in your favorite programming language and against any driver.

Plus, it’s easy to integrate into your tech stack. People are solving some of the world’s biggest problems with graphs. Now it’s your turn. Visit https://neo4j.com/developer/
